Now really, I don’t like to face them off like that, but for the purposes of this post maybe I will. I’ve had a few people ask which I prefer now that I’ve done both. A few people assume that I preferred the hospital (an assumption I kind of resent) and a few people were …

Oh I have so much I want to say, so many blog post ideas. Here is reality: I don’t get that much time to be able to sit down and actually type. I have plenty of time to read a hundred different things while I sit and nurse, but if I type it is often …

Even though I still have next week to work, it feels like summer has really begun. If there was any doubt, it was erased last night when M and I saw the first lightening bugs of summer as we sat out on our upstairs porch. This weekend is kind of packed but also kind of …

Traditionally this has been my best weekend of the year for garage sales. This weekend was no exception. There is a neighborhood in the next town over that always has their garage sales the third Saturday of May, so we made sure to hit those up today. I did OK with some stuff- found some …

It has been a tough week. Not in a really serious hard-stuff-in-life way thank goodness, but in one of those “is this week over yet?” sort of ways. E is always a little clingy when we get back from a weekend with M’s family. It seems he was extra clingy earlier this week because he …

E was pretty good until the last store, than he got antsy. I was hoping that we could make it to the greenhouse …

M and I headed to Pittsburgh today for an IKEA trip. We got a dresser for the nursery. It will obviously need assembled, but that was the last big thing on the list. Once it is together I can start putting stuff up on the walls. I might also start washing and sorting the baby …

Just got home from meeting with some friends for a Girls’ Night. These were some of “mommy friends” and it was great to be able to sit and chat without attending to 2 year olds! I have been able to get out in the evening by myself before for the now defunct knitting group or …

I’ve decided it is time for a new blog. Sometimes a fresh start is what we need. For me it wasn’t just a new blog, it was hosting it somewhere new too. I’m hoping this will be a little friendlier feeling than my last blog and it won’t feel like such a chore to write! …
